LEXINGTON, Ky. - Kentucky hosts Texas A&M at Rupp Arena at 4 PM ET Saturday, and John Calipari expects physical play against his Cats to continue.

“Very physical. Big. Strong," Calipari said of the Aggies. "Their three man is as good of a player as we have in our league. They push the ball. They play both man and zone. They try to jam pick-and-rolls. They’re a post-up kind of team, ala a little bit of Kansas, corner cuts and high-lows, screening from behind with big and big and trying to go from high to low. They’re going to go after our big people, that’s how they play. They’re a good team; they’re a really good team.”
